Our Thoughts:

We were sent a ZoomAlbum Photo Kit for review and I must say I think these are one of the neatest products on the market today! I was very surprised at how easy the whole process was! As soon as I received the kit I knew exactly what I was going to do with it I made 3 albums each of them contained very precious memories of my son and I gave one to my parents and one to my husbands parents and I keep the other in my car to show him off when I don’t have him with me! The instructions are super easy to understand and as soon as your pictures are dry you can begin folding them up to make the book!


I think these little albums would make wonderful gifts for parent, grandparent, aunt, uncles and well just plain anybody. I am thinking of getting a refill package and making my husband and father each a book of precious memories for Father’s Day this year!

Vitalicious Review and Giveaway

I don’t know about all of you but I’m constantly saying that I want to eat better and exercise more and just well plain ol’ get healthier! And as we all know that it’s not just the easiest thing in to world to do once you are set in your own ways of sweets and other not so healthy goodies, but I recently came across a great company that helps that by promotes a healthy lifestyle without all the downfalls of yucky tasting foods!

About Vitalicious (Taken From Website):
Vitalicious® Inc. is the market leader of innovative "vital and delicious" baked goods that promote a healthy lifestyle, without sacrificing taste. First to market with 100-calorie servings, Vitalicious® is leading the way to a holistic approach to maximize satisfaction with minimum calories, with products that are low fat and high in fiber and nutrients. Vitalicious® has created a unique triangle of need-satisfaction (All-Natural ingredients + Nutraceuticals + Weight Management), the only baked-goods company in this niche. Founded in 1999, Vitalicious® creates and sells a variety of unique, healthy, value-added baked goods under the VitaMuffin™, VitaTop™, VitaBrownie™, VitaCake™, and VitaMuffin Mix™ trademarks. Vitalicious® products are now sold at stores nationwide and at www.vitalicious.com (www.vitalicious.ca for Canadian Residents). Here at Vitalicious® our mission is simple: to make healthy and delicious baked goods that are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.

What are Nutraceuticals?
Nutraceuticals are foods that are enriched with the kinds of vitamins and minerals that are important for maintaining health and preventing illness. In the last few years, the number of Americans who are grabbing breakfast on the run or eating it at their desk is surging. So, there is a need for healthy, vitamin-fortified baked goods that you can eat quickly, but still get 100% of essential vitamins and minerals every morning -- while enjoying a delicious, oven-baked breakfast on-the-go. Each and every Vitalicious® baked good has been created to bring you the most nutritional benefits possible. Essential vitamins and minerals have been specifically chosen to help performance throughout the day, and to build strength and wellness in the future as well. We've developed four different VitaMuffins™, and much more is on the way. Our long term mission is to create baked goods that are healthy in many more ways than just being vitamin-enriched -- that provide high fiber and low calories, without any fat, as well as crucial poly-unsaturated fatty acids (known as "good fat") and protein.

Why Vitamins?
As you know, lots of breakfast cereals are fortified with important vitamins and minerals. That's because doctors and nutritionists know that getting 100% of your recommended daily requirements of essential vitamins and minerals is key to staying strong and healthy. But many people today simply don't have the time for a sit-down meal in the morning... That's why every variety of VitaMuffin is fortified with as many as 15 of the crucial vitamins and minerals you need, including folic acid, niacin, iron, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and more! In fact, you'll notice something on every VitaMuffin package you don't normally associate with tasty baked goods: a nutritional information chart. That's because 4 oz. serving of VitaMuffins are USDA certified to have 100% of the recommended daily adult requirements of many of the most important vitamins and minerals.


Our Thoughts:


We were sent a Super Sampler from Vitalicious to review and as I stated earlier I’m constantly on the look out and trying new products that help me live a healthier lifestyle but man I tell ya some of the products I’ve tried in the past have really, really been yucky and my husband won’t try anything he thinks may remotely be healthy for him with out an all out brawl! So when we got our super sampler and let it set in the fridge for a while I just had to try them! I was really amazed by the taste these things are really yummy and even tho I didn’t let my hubby know that they were actually good for him he has really enjoyed them as well! We have started out our day with a nice warm Vitatop and we all agree that we will be keeping these around the house because not only are they good for you they are really yummy too! My two year old “Bug” even asks for them as a snack sometimes and that for me is awesome because usually he is wanting some kind of junk food and at least this way his sweet tooth gets satisfied and it’s not full of the not so good for you stuff!

This Father's Day give the men you love the best gift of all - the gift of a healthy future

Did you know that new research has found that men are 31 percent less likely than women to have visited a doctor within the past year? In fact, men report making fewer routine health care appointments compared with women (56.5 percent vs. 73.8 percent).

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Ad Council are launching a new movement on behalf of their national public service advertising campaign designed to encourage middle-age men to learn which preventive medical tests they need to get and when to get them.

Can you help us get the word out about the importance of men's preventive health care this Father's Day, during National Men's Health Week (June 14 - 20) and year round?

Here are a few ways you can help get the word out!!:

Encourage the men you know to visit ahrq.gov/healthymen, which provides recommended ages for preventive medical tests, a health care quiz designed to test knowledge of preventive health care, tips for talking with doctors, a glossary of consumer health terms, and links to online resources to find more medical information. Also, keep an eye out for the new PSA's encouraging dad's to take care of their health

Send the men in your lives this new e-card for Father's Day by visiting http://www.dadtothedoc.org


Ask your husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. to take the health quiz at http://www.ahrq.gov/healthymen/quiz.htm

Tweet about the men's preventive health campaign, sharing the www.ahrq.gov/healthymen and the www.dadtothedoc.org URLs. The hashtag for the campaign is #dadtothedoc

Let your Facebook friends know about the campaign's Facebook page facebook.com/healthymen and the incredible resources available.

Sit down with the men in your life and take a look at the tools needed for a healthy future. Send the health e-card this Father's Day to remind the men you love about the importance of protecting his health this Father's Day and for many more to come.
